Advancing technologies continue to accelerate our access to information, social media, content, shopping and every other thing we do on our latest devices. As such, it is more important than ever to make a great first impression. In fact, it’s critical because chances are you won’t get a second chance at a first impression.

ROI Research conducted a study on “Participant Behavior and Social Engagement”, and discovered users are most likely to engage with a brand through pictures and videos.

By 2017, he fully expects that two-thirds of Verizon’s traffic will be video!

Faster connections, more ways to get connected and this insatiable hunger for new content increase the nearly limitless possibilities out there for savvy brands who take advantage of this increasing consumer desire for visual content.

Think of all the places you’ve lived in your life. Chances are very good you can picture them in your mind easier than you can recall the street addresses. That’s just the way the human mind is naturally wired.

Compounding this bit of biology in the modern world, is the Internet and this exploding era of digital information and content consumption is changing the way the human mind works.
